What Happens to Thada in the Reset Final Episode?

The final episode of Reset opened with Thada and Wenai preparing for Thada’s proposal to Armin. However, their plan went awry when Thiwthit returned after a year in hiding.

Like a madman set free, Thiwthit ordered his men to attack both Thada and Wenai. Amid the chaos, one of his men shot Wenai, leaving him bleeding.

Thiwthit mocked Thada and brought up how he and his mother had suffered because of him.

When Armin arrived at the location where Thada was supposed to propose, he found no one there. He discovered Thada’s phone on the floor, along with the engagement ring.

Thiwthit then appeared, revealing a badly injured Thada. He ranted about his hatred toward Armin, starting by recalling how Thada had never once hurt him, even if Thada didn’t love him.

But when Armin came into the picture, Thada fell so deeply in love that he ended up hurting his own mother.

In a brief flashback, it was revealed that Thiwthit had romantic feelings for Thada. His obsession led him to stalk both Thada and Armin.

Will Armin Face the Same Tragic Ending?

In the midst of Thiwthit’s chaos, Wenai—despite being shot—tried to help Thada and Armin. Thada and Wenai fought against Thiwthit’s men while Armin attempted to get hold of a gun.

Unfortunately, Thiwthit reached it first. He shot Armin, causing him to lose his balance and fall. As Thada desperately held onto his hand, Armin remembered his tragic death in 2025—it happened in the exact same way.

But this time, it wasn’t pathetic because Thada was there with him. Seeing Thada struggling to hold on, Armin chose to let go.

Armin was rushed to the hospital but remained in critical condition. Thada never left his side, even while nursing his own injuries.

Did Thada Also Have His Own Reset?

While mourning Armin’s condition, Thada’s perspective on Armin’s death in 2025 was revealed through a flashback. At the time, Thada was ready to reveal himself to Armin after years of hiding his identity as TD—Armin’s first fan.

However, tragedy struck when Armin fell after an altercation with Sam and Charlie (his best friend and boyfriend in 2025).

Reset Final Episode

The culprit behind Armin’s death was also revealed—it was Thiwthit. He had drugged the wine Armin drank, causing him to feel dizzy before his fall.

The incident devastated Thada. Flashbacks showed the depth of his grief, and he expressed that if he could go back in time, he would reveal himself to Armin. This explains why Thada appeared on the exact day Armin experienced his reset.

It turns out that everything that happened after Armin’s reset was no coincidence—Thada had his own reset as well. Determined to save Armin from the tragic fate he once suffered, Thada did everything he could to make Armin fall for him and protect him from harm.

Did Armin’s Reset Change His Future?

A year after Armin’s accident, success followed him like a shadow. He became a well-known actor in the entertainment industry and bagged multiple awards.

Unlike before, he was on good terms with Sam and his co-actors. He also never cut ties with Pat, his best friend, and even helped him and his aunt open their own restaurant.

Armin’s reset truly paid off, as he was now living his life in the best way possible. With Thada’s help, he was able to survive what could have been a tragic ending.

However, some things remained unchanged—his boyfriend in 2025, Charlie, was still a cheater, and Thiwthit continued to suffer from psychological distress.

Thada’s Love for Armin Will Always Be the Same

Even before the reset, Thada’s love for Armin was unwavering—like he knew no one else in the world but him. In their reset, his love stayed firm; it was always for Armin.

Thada surprised Armin with another proposal. It wasn’t grand or luxurious—just simple, yet heart-fluttering. Thada’s genuine affection for Armin had led them to this moment.

When 2025 came, Armin and Thada remained the same—two people who deeply loved each other. The moment arrived when Armin’s accident (before the reset) should have happened, but this time, things were different.

Armin still received the award, but now Thada was by his side. During his speech, he didn’t hesitate to acknowledge Thada as his very first fan, expressing his love for him in front of everyone.
